Today Show highlights Richistan butler school
I was watching the Today Show this morning where they did a segment on the Starkey School. I first read about this school in Robert Frank’s book Richistan. It is rather depressing to me to see people who publicly state that they were having trouble finding work or decided against going back to school for four years—taking this route. Sure they will be very well paid to be “household managers.” Yet, this ultimately tells me one important thing. We are becoming more and more economically polarized. You have the rich who live in Richistan and then everyone else. If this keeps up and the Obama administration is not able to save the middle class, then we will just have the rich and the very poor.
